Default Steroids?

So apparently 3% of the Juniors at my school do steroids, and that percent has gone up from 1%. It seems oddly high so i wanted to know if anyone out there did steroids as a junior in hishschool (11th Grade)

Nope, but I did have some protein powder and creatine powder. I stopped after I ran out because I heard sometimes the creatine can create some liver problems (probably because of the 75g of sugar per serving used to spike it and get it into the body).

No. I lost a lot of weight, but that was due to depression (I don't eat when I'm upset) and exercise. I didn't build a lot of muscle mass though.

I'm not a junior, I'm a sophomore, but I voted no because i know for a fact I will not be doing steroids.

I don't think this quite applies since I haven't been a Junior yet (despite taking all Junion-level classes), but I have never done steroids before and I never plan to. Muscles the size of car engines are overrated and unattractive.

Ah, yes, in a time not so long gone I was on hydrocortisone. No big muscles, just symptomatic treatment for inflammation.

I read the poll question and I thought it said in junior high school, and I was like wtf? I was 13 in junior high, that's crazy. Then I realized that it said a junior IN high school. Makes much more sense, altho it doesn't change my answer of no.

I haven't even drunk yet. I sort of fear addiction/my body being f-d up seeing as I'm so weak as it is

Yeah but they grow back to normal size anyway.
It also gives you acne and it never goes away. I've never been to jr high or high school but I don't thing you find steroids in school over here, we don't focus on sports and competition like they do in america.
If I could I'd start a very short cycle just to get a little jump start, I had to stop weights because I take Accutane for my acne but if steroids give acne, it would be very counter productive and 6 months wasted =/
I'll just do it the oldschool way

Back when I was in high school (yes this is a "when I was your age" comment), I didn't know about it, nor would I have known where to find it.

No, the survey done in my school was implying for like muscle growth purposes and not legit medical reasons.
